CBSE Circular – ‘Partition Horrors Remembrance Day’ on 14th August 2024
The Government of India has announced 14th August to be observed as ‘Partition Horrors Remembrance Day’, every year, to bring to light the agony, suffering and pain of millions of sufferers of partition. It is to remind the country regarding the largest displacement of human population, which also claimed the lives of a large number of people.
In this regard, the National School of Drama (NSD) has curated a play whose script presents the events of participation, its impact on millions of lives and several other details. The script is available at:
